Mikheil Sazhiniani

"Spartan". That's what they call Mikheil Sazhiniani, and is part of the UFC light heavyweight division's deep end, fighting out of Georgia — 16 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

On the feet he's a problem: 2.27 significant strikes a minute at 33% accuracy, and 85% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.

He's coming off a loss to Bruno Lopes. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
